Putting a Red Hat Linux system in a secure area with Windows systems without changing your inittab is a sure way to get this to happen. When an admin walks up to a Windows system, the first thing that happens is c-a-d. On RHL, you're rebooting... Edit your inittab to prevent this. This is what we have on all of our Linux systems (by necessity, ESPECIALLY if your Linux systems share a KVM with Windows systems): ca::ctrlaltdel:/bin/echo Ouch \!\! > /dev/console > Sep 4 19:26:44 svlsrch1 sshd(pam_unix)[23682]: session opened for user root by > (uid=0) > Sep 4 19:29:22 svlsrch1 sshd(pam_unix)[23682]: session closed for user root > Sep 4 21:53:26 svlsrch1 init: Switching to runlevel: 6 This is the smoking gun that somebody did do a reboot. You're not crashing - you're rebooting. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
